Michael Childress Commissioner

The Bloomingdale Park Board of Commissioners is the legal governing authority through which the business of the District is conducted. Park Commissioners are elected by residents of the District to a six-year term without pay. Once the Park Board meeting has adjourned, all board members return to their roles as citizens and taxpayers. It is only the Park Board, acting at a legally constituted meeting, which has the authority to establish or change policy, sign agreements or award contracts. The Park Board has appointed a professional executive director to manage the operation of the District on a daily basis. The Bloomingdale Park District Park Board typically meets twice a month. Meetings begin at 7 p.m. and are held at the Johnston Recreation Center, 172 S. Circle Ave. in Bloomingdale. The public is invited to attend. Board agendas and minutes are available at www.bloomingdaleparks.org.

Athletic Association Contacts Score 6 – Pursuing Victory with HonorSM The Bloomingdale Park District is excited to show continued support for the CHARACTER COUNTS!-based certification program for coaches, parents, officials and children known as Score 6. This program incorporates the six pillars of character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship into youth sports. The primary goal of the program is to build character through these six pillars while teaching the fundamentals of the sport. This program has been implemented in hopes that the main focus of youth sports is placed on fun instead of winning at all costs. We realize winning is important – to an extent. However, we need to make sure the rules of the game are followed and the players, coaches, officials and opponents are respected at all times. We need to focus more on teaching young players how to win with honor and lose with dignity and pride. The outcome is to keep the “fun” in sports! Parental involvement and cooperation are essential to the success of this program. Parents and coaches are required to attend a Score 6 meeting and sign a code of character. Athletes are not allowed to participate until at least one of their parents has attended a Score 6 meeting. The program is completely free and lasts approximately one hour. This program is designed to impact all sports programs. Once you become certified, you are not required to attend another meeting. We appreciate your cooperation with the Park District and look forward to seeing you at one of the Score 6 meetings listed below. Thank you for your continued support and remember character does count in youth sports in Bloomingdale! Parents and coaches may attend a Score 6 meeting at any time, even if they are not currently involved in a youth sport. Attendance is required for the entire session. Please visit www.bloomingdaleparks.org to register online.

The Bloomingdale Park District mission regarding youth athletics is that all participants play in a safe and fun manner, and that the leadership of each athletic organization keeps this mission in mind at all times. If you would like any information on any of the athletic organizations in Bloomingdale, please feel free to contact the respective representatives.

We Love Parents, however . . . With your child’s best interest in mind, parents are asked not to attend their child’s class unless invited by the instructor. We have found the quality of instruction has often been affected by parent and/or sibling distractions, interruptions and various other concerns during class time. It is of equal importance that children have quality leisure time with their peers. Our instructors welcome the opportunity to discuss concerns with parents before or after class, time permitting. Thank you again for your cooperation.

NEWS

Autumn 2013 Once again, it is my pleasure to write this letter as the voters of the Park District recently returned Commissioner Karen Johns and me to office for another 6-year term. Having completed 15 years of service to the district, it is my belief that the lack of competition we faced reinforces our mission. As we strive to make our agency an enjoyable and economical benefit to all residents, it is with great pleasure and satisfaction, that we dedicated a brand new, fully-accessible playground at Sunnyside Park, located in east Bloomingdale at the intersection of Glen Ellyn Road and Byron Drive.

Buzz Puccio

As you may read elsewhere in this publication, this was made possible, in part, by a grant from the playground equipment manufacturer. This grant saved taxpayers $43,000, freeing up that amount in our budget to be used elsewhere for maintenance and improvements. In our efforts to make our facilities more accessible in the past few years, we added an elevator and automatic entrance doors to the Johnston Center, and have repaired and re-paved walking paths in the parks. And as I write this, we are in the process of installing an accessible fishing pier at Westlake Park. In the coming years we hope to acquire more grants from wherever available in order to stretch our budget without having an effect, other than positive, on our residents. We also seek to work in tandem with other government agencies like the Village of Bloomingdale, Bloomingdale Township, Bloomingdale Public Library and all of the school districts so that service duplications are avoided. Keep in mind that the volunteer commissioners serving on the Park Board are also residents, and our decisions impact us the same as you. Our meetings are always public, and there is ample opportunity at them to address us with your concerns. In addition, you can find our email addresses on our website (www.bloomingdaleparks.org). I welcome your comments. In closing, thank you for your continued confidence and it is my pledge to reward that trust with the best facilities and programs in the area. Sincerely, Sebastian â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buzzâ&#x20AC;? Puccio President Bloomingdale Park District Board of Commissioners

The Board of Commissioners meets at 7 p.m. in the community room of the Johnston Recreation Center. The public is invited to attend.

Where recreation is for all abilities Additional Accessibility Projects • In November of 2011, the Park District completed its improved access project at the Johnston Recreation Center. The project featured the addition of an elevator, widened staircase, automatic entry doors and a new ramp. The resources for the project came from special recreation funds, and it was approved by the Western DuPage Special Recreation Association Board of Directors.

A modern, fully-accessible fishing pier was recently installed in Westlake Park. The pier is accessible from the existing paved path and parking lot off of Edgewater Drive. “Where Recreation Revolves Around You!” is the official slogan of the Bloomingdale Park District. And central to that slogan is the customer, which includes customers of all abilities. In accordance with the Park District’s American with Disabilities (ADA) Transition Plan, several recent projects highlight the removal of accessibility barriers to our patrons of special needs. Sunnyside Park, 291 Glen Ellyn Road, began a complete renovation of its playground structures in May, becoming fully-accessible for children of all abilities, ages 2-12 years. A grand opening celebration is set for 10 a.m. to noon, Aug. 24 (see page 4).

• This past summer, the Park District restored a historic park element at Westlake Park, 307 Edgewater Drive. A modern, fully-accessible fishing pier was constructed to duplicate the accessible pier at Lakeview Park (pictured above). The beauty of the modern version is its accessibility from the existing paved path and parking lot off of Edgewater Drive. This access brings park patrons of all abilities closer to the water, closer to the waterfowl and wildlife of the lake’s ecosystem, and closer to the great, natural sanctuary that is Westlake Park. • The renovation of The Oasis Water Park in 2005 included the purchase of a remote-controlled lift for patrons needing assistance into and out of the water. The lift is mobile, allowing it to move between the eight-lane competitive lap pool (‘Cuda Cove) and the zero-depth entry pool (Mango Bay). The Park District continually seeks ways to improve the customer experience for its patrons of all abilities. Have an idea? Drop us a note at staff1@bloomingdaleparks.org, call us at (630) 529-3650 or simply stop by and see us at the Johnston Recreation Center.

The Park District received a $43,404 grant from Little Tikes to assist in building the playground structures, the first of their kind within Bloomingdale’s park system. “The Board of Commissioners and staff of the Bloomingdale Park District are ecstatic about the opportunity to bring an accessible playground to our community to serve children of ALL abilities,” said Bloomingdale Park District Executive Director Carrie Fullerton. “Resident children with physical and sensory special needs will be able to have fun right here in their own community!”

A renovation of the Johnston Recreation Center entrance in 2011 included an elevator (pictured above), widened stairs, a new ramp and automatic entry doors.

The Oasis Water Park features remote-controlled lift for patrons needing assistance into and out of the water.

Old Town Festival of Lights The Bloomingdale Park District announced in May it is partnering with the Village of Bloomingdale on a new holiday tradition to not only spark a sense of pride and service in Bloomingdale, but also attract visitors from surrounding towns, thus benefiting local business. Beginning Nov. 29, 2013, the Festival of Lights will adorn Old Town Bloomingdale through New Year’s Eve. Pedestrians and motorists alike will be treated to a sparking display of holiday lights and sights. In addition to visually-stunning displays, the Park District also will conduct on-site programming and entertainment activities sure to delight the masses. See the back cover of this brochure for highlights. The Park District seeks partners/sponsors for this new tradition. It is committed to exceeding its partners’ expectations and providing meaningful marketing benefits and impressions. The Park District’s partnership program is focused on a loyal and targeted market of residents in Bloomingdale as well as neighboring communities. For questions about the event or partnership opportunities, please contact Park District Director of Marketing & Communications Josh Hendricks at (630) 529-3650.

Bloomingdale Park District & the ADA

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) took effect in January 1990 and the Bloomingdale District complies with the legislation's purpose which prohibits discrimination on the basis of a disability. The Bloomingdale Park District will make reasonable accommodations in recreation programs to enable participation by an individual with a disability that meets essential eligibility requirements for that leisure program and facilities. The ADA requires that recreation programs offered by the park district be available in the most integrated setting appropriate for each individual. If you have questions about Bloomingdale’s commitment regarding the ADA policy or you believe you have been unfairly discriminated against by the park district, please call the park district at 630.529.3650.

registration information Age Appropriate

For each program at the Park District, there are a minimum number of registrations needed before a class can “go.” Most teachers are paid per class period, not per student, so if not enough people register, the Park District loses money – your money. You may ask, “But why a maximum?” Basically, the more students there are, the less individualized attention participants receive. We like to keep the student/teacher ratio low to ensure that you get what you pay for: a higher quality program. The minimum number of registrations is the first number shown. The maximum is the second one shown. For example, MIN/MAX: 8/12.

Listed with every class is an age and/or grade designation that notifies interested participants the age demographics for each class or program. This designation is necessary for several reasons. First, the class or program is specifically designed for a certain age group. Second, we have found that participants enjoy and get more out of a program when interacting with peer groups of similar ages. Third, generally people feel more comfortable around people their own age and will enjoy the program in opportunities that provide this outlet. Last, concerns of safety and fair play become issues when mixing age groups especially with youth. We thank you for your cooperation in this matter and hope you enjoy your recreational opportunities here at the Park District.

Code of Conduct: Participant Guidelines

A wait list is formed when a class reaches participant levels beyond the maximum. This may occur when the lottery is completed or after the lottery depending on when the maximum is reached. The wait list is designed to maintain people in a holding area until either more spaces in the class are made or there is a drop out or transfer. The wait list is designed to offer any open spots to the next individual on the wait list by the date they first registered for the program. Thank you for your cooperation and continued patronage to the Bloomingdale Park District.

• Equal Access - No participant shall, on the basis of race, sex, creed, national origin, or disability, be denied equal access to programs, activities, services or benefits, or be limited in the exercise of any right, privilege, advantage or opportunity. • Behavior - Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. The following guidelines have been developed to help make Park District programs safe and enjoyable for all participants. Additional rules may be developed for particular programs and athletic leagues as deemed necessary by staff. Participants shall: • Show respect to all participants and staff • Refrain from using foul language • Refrain from causing bodily harm to other participants or staff • Show respect for equipment, supplies and facilities. • Discipline - A positive approach will be used regarding discipline. The Bloomingdale Park District reserves the right to dismiss a participant. Each situation will be evaluated on its own merit.

Registration Notification is Not Sent to You

Program Refund Policy

Wait Listing Process

Please remember that no notification or confirmation will be sent to you after your registration. If you do not hear from us then this means you are placed on the class roster. If you are placed on a wait list we will contact you and ask if there are alternative choices that we can provide you. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about your status of your registration.

Program Cancellations Programs that do not reach the advertised minimum registration number at least three days prior to the start of the program will be cancelled due to low enrollment. Participants will be notified of the cancellation during the three days prior to the advertised start date of the program. Full refunds will be issued for programs cancelled due to low enrollment. If a program has an advertised deadline listed in the brochure description, the program will be cancelled after that date if registration has not reached the minimum. All program times and fees are subject to change.

Return Check Policy We will gladly accept personal checks as payment for registration fees. If, for any reason, a check is returned to our office marked “NSF,” we will contact you. You will then be required to submit a full cash payment, as well as a $25.00 bookkeeping fee, within a five business day period. Class privileges will be suspended and new registration will not be accepted until payment is received.

A full refund will be provided to any customer who formally requests one at least three business days prior to the first class/practice, or by the program/ trip advertised deadline. All refunds will be assessed a $5.00 administrative fee. Refunds received after the program begins will be prorated based on session dates and assessed the $5.00 administrative fee. Refunds requested after the completion of a program or after the advertised deadline will not be granted. Individual programs may have specific refund guidelines. These programs include but are not limited to Kids Place, Preschool, Schools Out!, Adult Leagues, and Day Camps. Refunds will not be granted for daily admissions, drop-in fees, KFN, tickets, exhibit hanging fees, or Oasis season passes after the pool has opened for the season. The $5.00 administrative fee will not be assessed for refunds due to low enrollment or cancelled programs, rental/party deposits, punch card refunds, or medical reasons accompanied by a physician’s note. Refund requests will be handled on a case by case basis.

Senior Discount Residents who are age 62 years of age and better qualify for the Park District’s 20% discount. You’ll know if the discount applies to a given program by looking for the price tag symbol.
